Pros

- Access to interviews with high end clientele that you might not have access to otherwise - Opportunity to explore multiple career pathways with available training - On site experience gained is invaluable for bolstering your CV - Perfect for hard grafting graduates looking to gain relevant experience to propel their career forward - Company adapted very well to COVID related change in circumstances - Training covers, very quickly, the basics of all that you need to know for your on site role - Year to year salary increase

Cons

- Account managers aren't familiar with job specs and can often put you forward for roles unrelated to what you trained in. - Pay structure is convoluted and can get messy. 20k base with a daily performance bonus rate covering off the rest of your salary, payable only if you are placed (working on client side). Leaves you constantly checking your paycheck to make sure you were paid the correct amount. - Salary after 2 year mark does not fairly reflect the business you bring in for the company, hence, making FDM Group more of a stepping stone to something bigger as opposed to a place to stay long term

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
